Cardan shafts present unique alignment challenges due to their offset angles, multi-bearing configurations, and sensitivity to angular misalignment. Left uncorrected, these issues can lead to excessive vibration, premature bearing wear, and costly equipment failure.
At ROTATEK, we understand the complexities of cardan shaft systems—and we have the tools and expertise to solve them. Using state-of-the-art laser alignment systems and proven geometric techniques, our technicians precisely measure shaft positions, correct offset and angular misalignments, and ensure true operational alignment across all connected components.
Whether you’re in marine propulsion, steel processing, mining, or heavy industry, our tailored cardan shaft alignment services reduce downtime, improve equipment life, and restore confidence in your rotating machinery.

Rotatek is skilled in various services including Pump-Motor Alignment, Gearbox Alignment and Turbine-Generator Alignment.
In this scenario, a pump is coupled to an electric motor. A Rotatek Field Service Engineer uses laser alignment tools to measure and correct the alignment between the pump shaft and the motor shaft. Correct alignment ensures that the pump operates smoothly, reducing vibration and preventing issues like premature bearing and seal failures.
Gearboxes are common components in various machines, such as conveyors, mixers, turbines, generators, industrial fans and pumps. Alignment Service is necessary to align the input and output shafts of the gearbox, ensuring efficient power transmission and minimize uneven gear wear and costly failures.
